    I was on a hunt for a new pediatrician and after asking around my friend recommended Dr. Rivera and…read morelet me tell you I am so happy they did! I loved my entire experience! The office set up is super cute and bright my kids enjoyed it they were also playing Cocomelon on the tv which my toddler LOVED and I appreciated as well! Judy greeted us in a very friendly and welcoming manner. She was also super sweet and friendly over the phone when I called to schedule our appointment. She was so patient with my highly active one year old and played with her as I shuffled all my things along with a newborn. She was such a big help and I'll never forget that. I felt relieved not feeling judged or rushed while I was there and this was all before even meeting the doctor! Dr Rivera is amazing as well. My babies responded to him so well. He is very knowledgeable and sweet, friendly, not intimidating and judgy which is everything I was looking for in a new pediatrician! In addition to medical services they have access to a lot of useful resources that parents of young children could use. It feels like family every visit and I'm forever grateful for them being my babies' medical provider! If I could give them more stars I would because 5 doesn't seem enough!

    Extremely disappointed in how this practice has changed over the years…read more We have been patients of this practice since my oldest daughter was born. She is now four, and my younger son has also been a patient since birth. We stayed with this practice for years because we genuinely believed in what Dr. Rivera said he wanted his practice to be: quality over quantity and a place where patients and families mattered. Unfortunately, our experience over the years has become completely different. There have been ongoing issues with the office staff being rude and dismissive toward me as a parent. One of the issues that initially caused frustration was that the office repeatedly got my son's gender incorrect. When I corrected the information, instead of simply acknowledging and correcting the mistake, I was met with an attitude from the staff. Mistakes happen, but the way a parent is treated when bringing a mistake to the office's attention matters. We have also had ongoing difficulties with insurance issues and scheduling. Rather than feeling like the office is trying to help families navigate these things, we have repeatedly felt like we were an inconvenience. The situation that ultimately resulted in our children being dismissed from the practice was especially frustrating. I completed all of the required paperwork for my daughter's appointment. Instead of someone from the office calling or emailing me to explain that there was an issue with her primary care provider information and giving me an opportunity to correct it, I received a random text message stating that they could not see her because the information was incorrect. I responded and explained that this could have easily been resolved if someone had simply contacted me and asked me to correct the information. I received no response. The following day, my husband called the office and was told that because of my "attitude," they no longer wanted to see either of our children. Think about that for a moment. My daughter had been a patient there since she was a newborn and is now four years old. My son has been a patient since birth and is now almost two. After years of bringing our children to this practice, both children were dismissed because the office did not like how I addressed a problem that could have been resolved with a simple phone call or email. What is even more disappointing is that we previously had respect for Dr. Rivera and his vision for the practice. He often spoke about wanting to be different and prioritizing quality over quantity. Unfortunately, our experience has been that the quality of the overall patient experience has gone significantly downhill as the years have gone on. When patients repeatedly raise concerns about the office staff, it is incredibly disappointing when those concerns do not seem to be taken seriously. Now, even obtaining our children's medical records has become unnecessarily difficult. I requested the complete records for both of my children. Rather than providing a complete electronic copy of each child's records, I was told that I could individually download years' worth of documents from the patient portal myself. For a family that has been patients for four years, that can mean an enormous number of individual documents to download. The biggest issue for me is not that mistakes happen. It is the lack of communication, professionalism, and willingness to work with parents to resolve problems. We trusted this practice with our children for years. It is extremely disappointing to go from feeling like valued patients to feeling like our family is simply unwanted because we spoke up about problems we were experiencing. I would strongly encourage parents considering this practice to pay attention not only to the doctors, but also to how the office staff communicates with and treats families. The experience we had is very different from the practice we originally chose years ago.

    I've been going to Dr.Canody since I was 10, i am now 21. She is the most amazing woman. The first…read moretime I ever saw her she sat and listened to me ramble for over an hour about what I was feeling and the issues I was facing at the time. She has continued to be her kind and caring self throughout the years. She cares so deeply about everyone that walks through her door.

    I was referred to see Dr Barry DO here at Canody Pediatrics, but only saw Dr Canody…read more As i sat in the waiting room, i kept feeling like i should leave. Every child that went in was heard screaming and/or crying. The woman at the front desk when i walked in was not welcoming at all and never told me where to go or what to expect. After my kids and i were asked into a room, we spoke with a woman (who i assume was a nurse) and she was very cold shoulder/rude to us. My baby was uneasy and unhappy the entire time this woman was in the room with us. After going in and out of the room a couple times and leaving the door open, the nurse left and came back in with a tray of stuff. I was nursing my baby at the time, she said to stay just like that and acted as though she was going to do something to her, but had not explained anything to me. When i asked her what she was doing she told me. I declined the service. She cut me off and explained in detail very impatiently what she wanted to do. Again I said no, im not doing that today. She curtly replied "ok.", grabbed her tray of stuff and abruptly left room slamming the door shut on her way out. The next thing i know, the office manager comes in and starts telling me that Dr. Canody is going to meet with me and not Dr. Barry, because according to my intake forms im not going to be participating in vaccinations for my kids, and Dr. Barry doesnt see patients who dont do regular vax schedules. I explain to her that i dont know what shes talking about. The reason im there is to get shots for my baby, and that i was referred to Dr Barry because she was supposedly so great. And I was hoping to speak with the doctor to explain my situation, so that we could work out a good schedule together. Anyway, after the office manager left, I eventually spoke with Dr. Canody. She actually told me that the reason her nurse acted the way she did was because they get 'burned' by families all the time who promise to come back but dont. After i requested a different nurse, a new nurse came in to do the shots. They had me lay my baby down on the table and lay my arm across her body and hold her arms down while she gave her the shots. Then when we checked out, the nurse I specifically requested to avoid, was sitting behind the office manager glaring at me. I have NEVER been treated or disrespected so much by a DOCTOR'S OFFICE?!! I DO NOT recommend this practice. Ive been to 3 different states with my children and Canody pediatrics was the WORST experience Ive ever had. As to their reply: No, Their practice is not meant for everyone. As someone who has moved to several states in a short amount of time and fallen behind in some areas, I was shocked at the level of judgement. Some parents due to their situation fall behind in the vax schedule and it has nothing to do with anything else, but they never even asked or cared. They judged me from the first second I entered their waiting room. I love that you try to act as though you care about me and my family online in your reply, but we both know how you really treat patients. Best of luck to you too.

    It's hard finding a good pediatrician practice and I'm so glad I went with this place! It's waiting…read moreis clean and there's a waiting area for healthy kids and another for sick kids. But what is more important is that Cheryl and Dr. Steve Karges are trustworthy, patient and kind. They give good advice and they don't make you do anything you don't want to for your child. I never feel rushed at my appointments and they give you time to think about a decision beforehand. They took time to explain things and listen to my concerns. It seems like Cheryl and Dr. Karges truly has compassion for babies and children. I highly recommend them!

    I really enjoyed the visits we had with the PA but Dr kargas was not right for our family. On of…read moreour first visits consisted of a newborn appt and my mother-in-law attended with us. Dr Kargas asked how breastfeeding was going and when I had no complaints he responded with how durable my nipples must be... I told him (as almost every mother does) that the newborn has was an issue and I wanted to be sure I was doing everything possible to offer comfort for my baby. He told me I should stop drinking carbonated beverages, not to eat onions as well as a long list of food (most being produce) or anything That may cause gas in me as that will indeed give baby gas. After a tiny amount of research I was able to find that these are not proven ways to diagnose a n allergy or pass gas to baby via breast milk. We changed pediatricians and without even explaining this experience their first response was to test baby's poop overs period of several visits before ordering momma drastic diet change. Outdated medical views and pushy views unless you speak to PA.
